Meeting KI-Postdocs: ‘Ethically Sensitive Applications of AI'

"Examples and Implications for Systems Engineering" (Part of the AI Research Group)
(Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Koch, FKIE)

“Intelligence” and “autonomy” are omnipresent in the biosphere. Before any scientific reflection or technical implementation, all living creatures fuse sensory impressions with learned and communicated information. In this way, they perceive aspects of their environment in order to act in accordance with their goals. In the complex technosphere, cognitive machines support human intelligence and autonomy via artificially intelligent automation, i.e. 'cognitive machines', by which they can increase their capabilities far beyond natural levels. Which requirements of systems engineering need to be fulfilled so that such machines take account of human beings using them as a responsible person?
